' PEN-POINT.

Patented Aug. 12, 1919.

Application filed February 11, 1919. Serial No. 276,421.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIE F. WALL, a

citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pen- Points, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pen points, and the object thereof is to so construct such a .point that piercing of the paper is preview, which will appear as "within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents a perspective view of aportion of a pen holder with this improved point shown applied. I Fig. 2 is a plan view of moved, and M Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof. In the embodiment illustrated a penholder H of usual construction is shown in the point rewhich apen point 1 isdes igned to be mounted in the ordinary manner. This pen 1 has the usual slip 2 extending through the point thereof and terminating at its inner end in a slot 3. The tip or point 4; of this pen is turned upwardly and rounded to prevent piercing of the paper during the Writing operation. This upturned or point 4 tapers to its free end in the usual manner so that the lower face of the writing portion thereof will be wider than the (upper, hence when it is desired to writeheavily the lowerface of said rounded point is used, and to produce fine writing, the upper face is used. From theabove description it will be obvious that by so bending the tip of a pen point, a substantially ball-point pen may be formed which is cheap to manufacture and will have all of. the advantages of the ballpolnt pen now in use.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the advantages of the construction and of the method of operation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains andwhile I have described the principle of operation of the invention togetherwith the device which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made as" are within the scope of the claimed invention. Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to se cure by Letters Patent, is

A pen having an elongated tapered point with the tip thereof turned upwardly and rounded, the terminal of said tip contacting with the upper face of the point and being narrower than the lower writing face..

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
